The city had so many things to see it was amazing, I loved the old fire station and the castle. The beach here needs a lot of work I have seen better.

Ponce is a must see. At the town plaza visit the cathedral, eat ice cream, visit the firehouse and buy arts and crafts at the local stores (prices better than in San Juan). Some tours are free. You should visit the Castillo Serralles and the Guancha boardwalk. It is easy to get to from San Juan. It is a full day trip.
